A small seal attracted a lot of interest at Lerwick’s Small Boat Harbour on Tuesday lunchtime as it pulled itself up onto the ramp.

The animal was not looking in great condition and appeared to have some injuries on its flippers. Hillswick Wildlife Sanctuary was contacted. Harbour staff carried out a watching brief.
